Behind the Scenes: Nashville Wild Child

Here is Vernon on January 1, 2012, in Centenial Park in Nashville, Tennessee, talking before we started shooting for the documentary, Nashville Wild Child. When we pulled up to the location, there was a woman planning on spending the night in the cold under this pavilion. She seemed a little miffed with our presence, as the sun was setting, until Vernon began to play.

Vernon played a couple of songs for us and then he and Helen got back in his car and drove back to the Walmart where they park, and sit and wait, for royalty payments on his songs that are out on major label records right now. They live in their car for now. We'll see if that changes in a few weeks when the first checks begin to arrive.
